You can iconify JPGs with this script:
tell application "Finder" to set selectedFiles to the selection
repeat with loopVar from 1 to (count selectedFiles)
set thisFile to item loopVar of selectedFiles as string
try
do shell script "sips -i " & quoted form of POSIX path of thisFile
end try
end repeat

Bingo! - Gary, I installed Findericon and its doing exactly what I need.
Sure, I wish I could script it :) so that I don't need to open every folder
select all files and then right-click and select "Clear". Can a CMM be
scripted ?!
Alas, I can always use GC's File Browser - great suggestion - thanks!
Also thanks to Yvan and Luther, for interesting contributions (Yvan about
setting the clock, and Luther about using SetFile - Luther I went to my DVDs
and reinstalled the Dev package, and am playing around with SetFile - thanks
both!)

I did read Luther's reply regarding 'SetFile'.
As an alternative (and since you've moved from 8.6 to X, you may want this
for other reasons) you could use the contextual menu tool 'FinderIconCM', by
Hide Itoh. This does not affect the creation date, OMM (X.3.9; CM plugin v.
2.4).
With this tool, all you need to do is select (in the Finder) any "bad icons"
and then choose 'Clear' from the contextual menu. The Finder will then
display the new OS X icon thumbnail.
Further, you might want to explore Graphic Converter, even for a trial
period. The File Browser in that tool is great for handling large
collections of image files and you can adjust settings for the thumbnail
icon (aspect ration, for example.)
